The next time congress brings up a gun-control bill someone should attach an amendment requiring ‘gun-free zones’ to have metal detectors at every entrance.

Agreed.

If you are going to declare it so, then make it so.
And that includes the back-doors and delivery ports.

I’d add to that routine inspections of tenants storage rooms and inventory. You can’t be too careful about who’s leasing space.

That was right after the CCW law was approved here in Texas. I refused to shop there then and refuse to shop there still. No other mall in my area forbids concealed carry, to my knowledge.

Bumper Sticker of the Thread:
Celebrate diversity — with as many different calibers as you can get.

AesopFan on September 24, 2013 at 7:09 PM

Glad you like it.
I have a t-shirt that basically says that.
It says “Celebrate Diversity” and has silhouettes of 56 different guns.
It’s one of my favorites that I got at a gun show.

More immediate fix: Walk right past the “No Guns Allowed” sign with your concealed firearm and get on with your shopping.

If there’s no metal detector, I’m going in. And if there is a metal detector, I will go in and ask if they have a secure means of checking my firearm at the security checkpoint.

Don’t forget the Boston Marathon. Not a shooting spree but still. Has that been tagged as a terrorist attack or just a disgruntled sports critic expressing his displeasure?

Oldnuke on September 24, 2013 at 6:01 PM

Ya – the Kenya terrorists used guns and hand grenades.
Boston marathon was pressure cooker bombs – and then guns in the getaway attempt.

Whatever the killers’ motives or methods may have been, the basic point is – that kind of mass attack has already happened here – and with the prevalence of “gun free zones” could easily happen again, to the scale of Kenya – unless we get rid of all these gun free zones where people keep getting klled.

Oh,oh!
“I don’t have all the facts, but I think we can agree the (opponent or straw man here) acted stupidly”
Its one of my favorite telepromterless quotes.
Or the one where he made us all Rosa Parks, “They can come along, but they gotta ride in back”. I love that one.
Then there’s the, “Well I’m not a crook”. But that’s just mixing turds uh mincing… I’ll stick with the first one.

Do “journalists” not pay attention to the news?
Let’s see…. Sandy Hook, Columbine, Aurora theater, DC Navy Yard, Ft Hood – all gun free zones – many malls are gun free zones – we have thousands or even millions of Muslim immigrants in this country….
Besides the obvious “duhhhh, it already has” – add above details together and ask that leading question again, and the answer is – “Well what the he11 do you think?

I guess it’s the argument of last resort. When all else fails invent imaginary boogeymen. I honestly don’t hear it used that much anymore though since it is such a huge fail.

NotCoach on September 24, 2013 at 3:38 PM

The one I like is the “What kind of message does it send…?” argument. The people making it apparently don’t realize that if it sends any kind of message, gun possession is protected by the First Amendment, too.

This is your reasoning? Wow. I thought we dispensed with this silly nonsense 20 years ago. Why haven’t shall issue states become like the imagined Wild West of Hollywood? It used to be that any state that was debating becoming a shall issue state we heard that illogical nonsense you just spewed above. Now? Not so much since none of those predictions came true.

NotCoach on September 24, 2013 at 12:18 PM

As recently as July 2013, when the Mississippi legislature finally passed a law defining what is and is not a concealed weapon, so that lawyers and police departments couldn’t claim a handgun in plain view was actually a concealed weapon.

The SPLC and some left-wing Democrats were wringing their hands about how the state was going to become the Wild Wild West, and managed to get a friendly judge to issue an injunction against the law.

BTW, the MS Supreme Court struck down the injunction just a couple weeks ago, and ruled that the judge was in error.
